SRK's Affair With Trouble Thru 2012-13

2012-13 has probably been the most controversial period for Shah Rukh Khan! While the star is yet again in news over a debate on his Muslim identity, here's taking a look at his recent controversies that have kept the tabloids busy...

WHEN KAT WENT OUT OF SALMAN'S BAG -The Salman-Shah Rukh rivalry has seen a new enmity chapter added to it almost each year, post that doomed affair in 2008. Last year was probably the last straw! Salman's rumoured ex-flame Katrina, who seems to have donned a 'clean image' after her Boom days, dropped certain inhibitions and went ahead with getting intimate under the sheets with SRK in Jab Tak Hai Jaan. This clearly added fuel to the fire so long as the infamous Khan war is concerned. Though Salman didn't really bristle with rage in public, we could sense the growing tension between the two Khans. Salman's ever increasing power at the box-office has perhaps only made things worse for this duo. Despite some reports of a patch-up, netiher Khan has come out in the open about it.

AAMIR-SRK WAR DEBUTS ON TV -During a promotional event for his TV debut Satyamev Jayate, the Perfectionist Khan got a little naughty and displayed his troubled relations with the King Khan. While he sang praises of all the other A-grade hosts including Big B (KBC), Salman (Dus Ka Dum) and Hrithik (Just Dance) for their entertaining and impressive stage skills, he completely overlooked SRK (KBC, Zor Ka Jhatka and Kya Aap Panchvi Paas Se Tez Hain). What's more, he even chose to smartly brush off the question about Shah Rukh as a host! Prior to this, in an earlier blog-drama, Aamir had hogged headlines with his dog's name being Shah Rukh, which generated enough reasons for yet another controversy. SRK chose to remain unforthcoming in both the cases, thus putting an end to its chances of developing into national debates.

TWO LADIES AND A GENTLEMAN -The otherwise family man too couldn't protect himself from being embroiled in the love-mess. While the media went berserk about his alleged closeness with his Junglee Billi, Shah Rukh's personal relations turned as sour as vinegar. Gauri stopped accompanying him to public events, and all sorts of Khan-Gauri-headed-towards-splitsville stories came to the fore. Not only did those rumours send SRK up the creek, it automatically meant the obvious – no more films with PeeCee. That Priyanka was immediately ousted from the famous girl gang comprising of Gauri, Suzanne et al, was a given.

A SLAP STORY -It apparently started when SRK turned down Shirish Kunder's Joker. Post which, Farah Khan's hubby kept following Shah Rukh during Sanjay Dutt's Agneepath bash. It annoyed Khan to the nth degree and in turn, he slapped Shirish. This unexpected act of physical abuse stunned Farah, and the two Khans' long-time friendship underwent separation days, until Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala played peacemakers between the two parties.

WHERE THERE'S SMOKE, THERE'S FIRE -That he is a chain-smoker is a well-known fact today. And he has bought legal trouble many a time in the past, owing to lighting that deleterious thing in public. In April 2012, a Jaipur court summoned Khan to appear before it, post a complaint was filed against him for publicly smoking at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, during an IPL match.

THE END OF THE BALL GAME -

He may be Bollywood's King Khan but last year's Wabkhede episode came as a bitter pill to swallow for SRK who was allegedly treated like muck by the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) officials and security guards. According to the grapevine, Shah Rukh was drunk, manhandled and used filthy language against the guards at the stadium during the KKR Vs Mumbai Indians IPL match. As a result of the complaint by the MCA against Khan's misbehavior, the star was banned from the stadium for five years.
